Now both of these lenses have shown up in Micro Four Third Product Catalogue.
The Olympus 75mm
f1.8 lens is described as “the highest imaging performance among M.Zuiko lenses”, which is a bold claim given the current line-up, which includes stellar prime lenses such as Olympus, and. The current rumor has that this lens will cost around $800US.
The Olympus 60mm
f2.8 macro lens will be a true x1 macro lens with inner focus system (lens does not extend outwards when auto-focusing), and a focus switch (to prevent focus hunting).
The release date is still unknown but the rumor has that it will be out within the next 4 months.

[gets up off floor] Sharper than the 45mm?!? Olympus, you have made a FINE lineup of lenses. Still surprised at the lack of a fast zoom, though.
Really looking forward in checking this lens out. Should be a great lens for taking shots and recording videos of kids in concerts…
